[comp.lang.c] malloc bug in MSC 6.0?

kianusch@ghost.UUCP (Kianusch Sayah-Karadji) (12/30/90)

Hi there,

	I'm using MSC 6.0 ... one of my programes dies when it is run 
	after any another program has been run before it.

	When running it right after booding the computer it runns fine,
	most of the time at least.

	Tracing through the program with CodeView ... it looks like it's
	hanging inside a 'malloc' call ... so I have not yet  gotten the
	last upgrade from MicroSoft ... does anybody know of a bug in
	the malloc call from MicroSoft?  Or is it my programming which
	screwes up?

							Thanx Kianusch

This may seem like a silly question but did you #include <malloc.h> at
the top.  I use MSC and I have forgotten to include that header file
only to have my program lock up before.

Hope it helps.
